Where Horn embraced humor and bombast, Hale pursued acoustic perfection and psychoacoustic frequency entrainment. Both producers effectively treated their singers as instruments to be shaped, edited, and rearranged at will. Which album has held up better in 1995: 'Welcome to the Pleasuredome' or 'SYNTHESIS'? -- Joachim Weber "We don't sign stars. We build them."

Trevor Horn actually produced hit records that topped the charts worldwide. Hale disappeared and his label burnt down.
